Borneo Cultural Festival (BCF) 2009

(Click the above logo for more info)

BCF started late this year. The annual festival, that used to be held on June, is now started from July 3rd till 11th, is claimed to be grander in spite of the economic resession and the impact of the H1N1 flue. (Grander BCF This Year; Eastern Times, June 19th, 2009)

Even the Maori were invited to perform this year. (Maori cultural troupe to perform at BCF 2009; Eastern Times, July 7th, 2009) Ehehehe... Can't wait to watched them.

Another Year

ANOTHER year passed by in my life. I'm 34 today.

TV3's Wanita Hari Ini ran a show on Andartu (Spinster) yesterday. Although the show was hillarious because of the jokes by Harith Iskandar and Adibah Noor, I kept my distance from watching the shows. You know, the usual stuff, all the remarks that our parents will throw on us...

Sadly, I still rated my self as under achievers. No resolution for this year. Got a lot of issues to catch-up with my life. Your support (morally, of course) is higly appreciated.

Thank for all the greeting from my friends, especially those from facebook. Love you guys!

Pakcik

DROPPING by at the Shell Service Station to refuel my ride this afternoon, a teenager attendant in her early twenties, I guess, greeted me...

" Pakcik, nak berapa?" (Uncle, how much do you want?)

"Huh?"... prentending to be a little deaf, asking her to repeat what did she say.

"Pakcik, petrol nak berapa?" (Uncle, how much petrol do you want?)

Without uttering any word, I just raised my open hand, indicating 5.

"Pakcik nak petrol RM 5 ? Pakcik biasa pakai yang Super kan?" (Uncle, you wanted RM5 worth of petrol? Uncle, you used to the Super type, aren't you?)

I just nodded, giving her RM10, together with a smile. The teenager then refilled my ride and hand over RM 5 change to me.

"Ni baki nyer RM5, pakcik. Terima kasih..." (Here is your RM5 change, uncle. Thank you...)

****

Next Wednesday (June 24th) I will be 34. But felt the toll of 43 when the teenager calls me Uncle. I am soooooooo old already! Isk...

Muka punya la jambu macam nie pun orang dah mula panggil pakcik. Waaaaa!
